Answers:
- What message will you emphasize as you accept your party's nomination for President of the United States?I will promise to the convention floor that I am a true conservative on gun rights, abortion, taxes, and many other issues. It would be terrible if we let these issues divide us in the face of Hillary Clinton.
- To what extent will you attack Bill Clinton's history of infidelity, impeachment, and so on as you campaign?I will casually refer to Mr. Clinton as “the rapist” and imply that his people, including Hillary, have silenced a number of people over the years who tried to speak out.
- To what extent will you attack Hillary Clinton's equivocation on the Benghazi attacks in 2012?We're going to be mentioning Benghazi a lot in our campaign.
- To what extent will you attack Hillary Clinton's decision to set up a private email server in her home, while Secretary of State?We will be asking, “Where's the indictment?!” every day in my speeches, and on social media.
- To what extent will you attack Hillary Clinton's 2002 vote to authorize the war in Iraq?She's probably expecting a lot of attacks on this issue -- let's keep her off balance by focusing on other things.
- To what extent will you attack Hillary Clinton for her changing views on gay marriage, criminal justice, illegal immigration, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or other issues?We've both changed our opinions about things in the past. Let's be judicious about the attacks that we make.
- What do you have to say in response to allegations that your Trump University used a number of unethical practices?It's a minor civil case, pursued by a few disgruntled people for political purposes. Most people were very satisfied with Trump University.
- Should Mitt Romney be given a speaking slot at the Republican Convention this year, given the tension between you two?Absolutely not. I don't want him anywhere near the convention. He was a loser in 2012 and he'd lose again if we were crazy enough to give him the nomination.
- To what extent will you make opposition to current trade agreements a part of your speeches and campaign?My position on this issue is clear, but we're going to focus on immigration and other issues more than trade.
- What do you have to say to conservatives who doubt your commitment to their cause in this election? Do you have any grand gestures to make?When I'm President, I'm going to appoint Ted Cruz to the Supreme Court. And if he doesn't want the seat, we're letting him name his choice.
- In the wake of your nomination, a number of prominent anti-Trump Republicans are organizing to cast votes for Libertarian Gary Johnson as a protest, with an emphasis on the Western states. What are your thoughts?My conservative credentials are beyond all question. It's really just sour grapes, and not accepting the will of the Republican voters in the primaries which is driving this.
- Do you plan to participate in the traditional three debates, between yourself and Hillary Clinton?At this point, it's hard to have any faith that the media will moderate these debates in an impartial manner. I will buy a half hour of time on every major network and make my case directly to the people.
- What was your rationale behind selecting Chris Christie as your running mate?Chris Christie has walked the walk as Governor of New Jersey. I'm going to work with the best people as President.
- Protests at a Trump rally in Oakland, California degenerated into a riot last night, with extensive property damage and at least one death. What are your thoughts?MoveOn, the Clinton campaign, and other groups will risk lives to get protestors to my rallies. It's a terrible thing, really.
- What actions would you take in Syria to help stabilize the situation there, and to combat ISIS?We need to send American troops to Syria to eradicate ISIS once and for all.
- What is your opinion of Barack Obama's performance as President?I'm proud that we were able to elect an African-American as President in this country. I really am. But we need to focus on the future now, and not on what may have gone right or wrong the last few years.
- Do you believe that the Senate should confirm Merrick Garland, an Obama appointee, to the Supreme Court?This is congressional obstructionism at its worst. We've seen any number of judges be appointed in the final year of a term. We can't have what we're seeing right now.
- Do you support the recent reopening of relations with Cuba?The way our current President has been kowtowing to the repressive leaders of Cuba is a disgrace. It really is.
- What are the next steps that the United States should take to combat global warming?The entire global warming alarm is a fantasy. A lot of people are pushing it so they can increase their own power and decision making.
- How concerned are you about the $17 trillion debt that the United States currently owes?I will increase taxes on wealthy Americans to stabilize the federal budget and reduce our debt.
- Do you support the practice of fracking? What is your overall view on energy policy?I love fracking. We need to do anything we can to support it.
- Do you have plans to take in more than the current level of 10,000 refugees per annum from the conflict in Syria?We shouldn't be taking any refugees from Syria. We're talking about some very bad people here, who don't have America's interests at heart.
- Where will you spend your final day of the campaign?Florida
- To what extent will you connect the dots between the Clintons' support of free trade and tough sentencing, and the huge unemployment in the black community?I think we have more to lose than to gain by going after the black vote heavily. So many Republican politicians have proven the futility of that course of action.
- Are there any personal attacks you would like to throw at Bill and Hillary Clinton over the next few months?We can't even be sure that Bill is Chelsea Clinton's father. There are a lot of good arguments pointing to other people on this one.
